	If the discretion must be purchased, it can be lost for the better coin of another. I prefer to purchase a candidate's stomach, and perhaps his judgment, but his character must be above bartering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You believe that all men whose characters cannot be paid for and purchased, yet who are discreet are of limited intelligence? No requisite wit was made mention of in the advertisement, but common sense is to be expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think gossip cannot be escaped, both below stairs and above. Loyalty, discretion as you call it, cannot be obtained from strangers without coin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Loyalty and discretion are bedfellows, but distinct. The one cannot be created for coin, the latter might. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only the loyal are truly discreet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are correct. Falsity that is serviceable is acceptable. (Reply to this) (Parent)
